in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on yield and yield components of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.), an experiment was carried out at the research field of faculty of agriculture; shiraz university, using a split factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. the main factor was irrigation stop at different growth stages of chi...

in order to study the phenological and morphological characteristics, comparison of yield and yield components, correlation between traits and determination of the parameters affecting seed yield, a field experiment was carried out at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2007. ten lentil genotypes were compared by a randomized complete block design with three replications. the analysis...

combining ability effects were estimated for different agronomic characters in line × tester crossing program comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. parents and hybrids differed significantly for general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) effects, respectively. the variance due to gca and sca showed that gene action was predominantly additive...

The combining ability analysis using Line × Tester model was conducted in chickpea to know the general and specific combining ability of the distingushing parents and their crosses, respectively and to select best material for further breeding programme and generation advanceme- nt. Two genetically diverse testers viz., JAKI-9218 and ICCV-2 as females and 8 males viz., HC-5, ICC-506, PKV Harita...

seed and oil yields, their components, and the relationships among trait performance were determined in 25genotypes of winter type oilseed rape (brassica napus l.). the experiment was carried out at the agricultural and natural resources research center of east azerbaijan, iran, in two consecutive growing seasons 2009-10 and 2010- 11. significant differences were observed in plant height, numbe...

in order to investigation the effect of row spacing and seeding rate on alfalfa (medicago sativa l. cv. mesasirsa), an experiment was carried out at the research farm of khouzestan agricultural research center from 2000 to 2004. this research was conducted in the form of  a split plot design in a randomized complete block, with four replications. main plot was three row spacings (50, 60 and 70 ...

to study the effects of irrigation interval and nitrogen level on yield and yield components of fenugreek medicinal plant, an experiment in split plot arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications conducted at the azad university of birjand in 2009. treatments included; irrigation intervals (4, 8 and 12 day) as main plot and nitrogen fertilizer (none fertilizer, 50, 100 a...

Changes in peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activities were studied during Chimonanthus praecox seed maturation. According to our findings the protein content increased steadily from 8 to 12 weeks after flowering, and thereafter decreased significantly. Similarly, SOD and POD activities increased gradually up to 12 weeks after fl...

The previously reported activity of benzyladenine and selected other cytokinin analogs to increase pod set in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) was further investigated to define the structure-activity relationship and evaluate the effects of the cytokinins on yield parameters. Enhancement of pod set was found to be greatest with N-6 saturated alkyl substituted analogs, and was only weakly assoc...
